Gauge & Needle Guide

Take note that these are recommendations. You should follow what your patterns and yarn labels suggest.

When meeting gauge is not necessary for the project, choose the needle or hook size that gives you the fabric you like. Large mm sizes will give you a more open and loose fabric, while smaller sizes will make your fabric denser.

Knitting & Crochet Yardage Estimates

Take note that these are estimates. You should follow what your patterns and yarn labels suggest.

These estimates are for stockinette and single crochet patterns. Allow for a 10% difference with other stitch patterns.

As a general rule, crochet uses 20% - 30% more yarn than knitting.

Always try to buy all of the yarn you need in one purchase. Even large company yarns and colors can change from batch to batch. Dye lots matter!

What will shipping cost?

For orders in the continental U.S., we offer $4.00 flat rate shipping and free shipping for all orders over $75.00. Extra shipping costs may apply for Hawaiian, Alaskan, and International orders.

Can I make a special order?

Absolutely. We will gladly place special orders for tools, accessories, books, or yarns. Since yarn companies sell yarn by the bag, you may need to order more than you need. If we regularly carry the yarn that you want, we will absorb any any skeins you do not want from the bag into our inventory. If we do notalready carry the yarn you want to order, you must purchase the entire bag. All special orders must be paid in full (with shipping costs) at the time of the order request.

What can I buy with my discount?

Birthday discounts reward you with 30% off of one wholepurchase of yarns, notions, tools, or accessories during the month of your birth date. Birthday discounts do not apply to books, magazines, Ashford tools, Wool Tree Mill tools, special orders, or workshops. In order to use your birthday discount online, you need to either enter your birth date when subscribing to our mailing list, or give us a call at (707)442-9276.

Will you wind my skeins for me?

Of course! If you want to skip the hand-winding, just let us know in the 'notes' section when you check out. We'll happily wind any unruly skeins into convenient cakes. That way when your package arrives on your doorstep- you can get to the fun part right away.

Will my dye lots match?

When you order multiple skeins of one yarn, we will do our best to only send you skeins with matching dye lots. Unfortunately because hand dyed yarns, natural dyes, and independant dye companies tend to dye yarn in small batches- dye lots are sometimes unique and hard to match. If you have a specific dye lot you are attempting to match, contact us before you order.

I'm stuck on a project! Will you help me?

That's what we're here for! Local customers with knitting, crocheting, spinning, or weaving woes are encouraged to come in and ask for assistance anytime during our regular business hours. We can also do our best to answer any questions over the phone or through email. If you think your need extra time or assistance, please call and we can arrange an appointment for you.

Can I make a return/exchange?

We can only grant you store credit for any returns. Any unused yarns may be returned for store credit up to 90 days after the purchase. The yarn must still be in the original condition with the intact yarn label. We do not accept any returns or exchanges for needles, hooks, books, magazines, or any tools. Any sale or discounted purchases may not be returned or exchanged. Workshops and classes are non-refundable within 30 days prior to the workshop/class date. A 50% refund is granted if you cancel more than 30 days prior to the workshop date.

Details

Sometimes you just need the slightest touch of sparkle. Flora is a lace weight cotton yarn with a few sequins blended in to add just a little bit of depth to your knitting, crochet, or weaving. Each color of this yarn is a lovely neutral shade of an earthy tone, so they all work beautifully on their own, as a subtle complement to other yarns, or as a quiet carry along.
